sustainability

Sustainability is a driver of innovation, efficiency, and lasting business value.

Change the game and design your products to meet the new measurements of success.

A COMPLETE TOOLKIT FOR sustainabLE PRODUCTS.

We’ve got you covered: The largest data foundation to help you focus on science-based, material issues. A built-in LCA modeling environment that is lightning-fast – and free (you only pay for the premium data that you use). Unlike traditional tools, you can model every product attribute and work with ‘real-life’ data. Need more support? Experts can help you with certifications, analysis and explore business model innovation.

Get started in minutes.

Look up thousands of product profiles from leading LCA databases (such as Ecoinvent and Agri-footprint) that are already integrated in the cloud. All data can be improved through an integrated publishing workflow. Use built-in apps for analysis for free. No need to‘download’,‘install’ and‘update’ anything.

Model every attribute

Supply Chain Collaboration

Makersite computes across private and public data while protecting intellectual property. That removes an important barrier to supply chain collaboration. Buyers and sellers can calculate footprints using the same background models and methods, without having to reveal confidential information. That way data is comparable and reliable, without conflicting interests.

WHAT IT’S FOR

Get a fast start, then scale across portfolios

With only a few clicks you can build a first model of your product’s
environmental performance. With our APIs, you can scale across your
entire portfolio and supply chain.

Search

Look up thousands of products and processes from the largest online inventory of life-cycle data.

Configure your product

To configure your product, copy a BOM or formulation from a spreadsheet, use one of the thousands of templates, or import data in Ecospold format.

Wizard & Composer

Get to first results in only 4 steps with the built-in Wizard. Then refine your models over time with the Makersite Composer.

Makersite APIs

Ready to scale up? Connect your systems such as ERP, CAD, or PLM with the Makersite’s APIs for real-time sustainability performance management.

Life-Cycle Assessment Pro?

Configure Scenarios

Configure Scenarios for your investigation, such as particular Suppliers, Processes, and Grid Mixes. Makersite allows you to ‘pin’ your configurations and save them for comparison with one another.

Investigate environmental impacts

Chose which impacts to analyze with dedicated apps for standard assessment categories, such as

Climate change

Ozone depletion

Human toxicity

Acidification

Ecotoxicity

Water consumption

and others.

Comparisons of product profiles.

Model alternatives and make side-by-side comparisons of product’s environmental and stewardship performance.

Maps and other Visualizations

Makersite has 4 core built-in Visualizations (Sankey/Graph/Map/Grid) and the option to export results for further geo-modeling.

Circular Economy

Material reuse and business model innovation.

Product circularity

For all the right reasons, there is a lot of momentum about the circular economy. While it’s easy to agree with its principles of a regenerative and restorative economy, it’s harder to put things into practice.

Makersite can support your pathway to ‘circularity’ in practical stages – from data and tools to model material alternatives and waste reduction to expertise for full business model transformation.

Apps

All Apps are free, cloud-based, and always come with data. That way you’ll get a lot done without the need for extra software.

Terrestrial Ecotoxicity

Data

Enrich your product profiles with data from many sources. Makersite takes into account how and where products are made, and what they are used for. That enables contextual comparisons between alternatives in seconds.

Ecoinvent

World’s most consistent & transparent lifecycle database.

Agri-footprint

Agri-footprint is a life cycle inventory (LCI) database for the agriculture and food sector. It covers data on agricultural products: feed, food, and biomass. The aim of the database is to facilitate transparency and a more rapid transformation to sustainable food supply chains.

PubChem

PubChem is an open chemistry database at the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
